Question 1

What happens if you find a fault I did not know about during a routine service in Longholme?

Accepted Answer

We tell you in plain terms straight away, along with an honest view on whether it needs action now or can reasonably wait, rather than proceeding with extra work without telling you first.

Question 2

Are your prices fixed or do you charge by the hour?

Accepted Answer

Wherever possible we provide a fixed, written quote before work begins, covering installations, servicing and most plumbing jobs, so there are no surprises on the day. This is confirmed after a free survey or an honest phone conversation about the job.

Question 3

Is a boiler repair or a full replacement the better option for me?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the age of your boiler, the cost of the specific repair, and how often it has broken down before. We give an honest recommendation for your situation rather than defaulting to the more expensive option, and can quote for both so you decide.

Question 4

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 5

Do you carry out evening or weekend boiler repairs in Longholme?

Accepted Answer

No, we work Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm only. Urgent breakdowns are still prioritised within those hours, and for a genuine gas emergency you should call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.

Question 6

My boiler pressure keeps dropping, what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Dropping pressure usually points to a small leak in the system, a faulty pressure relief valve, or occasionally a failing expansion vessel. It is worth having this diagnosed by a Gas Safe registered engineer rather than repeatedly re-pressurising the system yourself.

Question 7

How much can I save by upgrading to a new boiler?

Accepted Answer

Upgrading from an old, inefficient boiler to a modern A-rated condensing boiler can save you hundreds of pounds a year on your energy bills, depending on your current boiler's age and efficiency. We will give you an honest estimate of the likely savings for your specific property during a free survey, rather than a generic figure.

Question 8

Why has my boiler pilot light gone out?

Accepted Answer

A pilot light going out can be caused by a faulty thermocouple, a build-up of dirt, a draught, or a more serious gas supply issue. Do not keep relighting it repeatedly if it will not stay lit, book an engineer to diagnose the actual cause safely.

Question 9

Do you carry common spare parts on your van?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for the brands we most frequently work with. That lets many repairs be completed in a single visit. For less common parts we order them promptly and keep you updated on the timescale so you are never left guessing.

Question 10

Do I legally need a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate (CP12)?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are a landlord renting out a property with gas appliances in England and Wales, you are legally required to have a Gas Safety Certificate (CP12) issued annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This applies to all gas boilers, gas fires, gas cookers, and any other gas appliances. Failure to comply can result in fines of up to 6,000, pounds prosecution, and even imprisonment. We provide prompt certificates for landlords and letting agents across Colne and the surrounding Lancashire area.
